Fri, 02 May 2014 12:29:33 +0000http://natsinsider.com/?p=30100#comment-301061Edgar and Harold Baines both deserve more consideration for the HOF than they have previously received. If a 1 inning relief pitcher who totals about 70 innings a year can get into the Hall why not a DH who takes 3-4 AB’s per game over the course of a season? I don’t understand the bias against DH’s when it comes to this.

Do Nationals fans switch allegiances when they see a commercial for the O’s? Does anybody in DC buy a ticket to a Baltimore game because they see that? I suppose the ad agency must think so, or they wouldn’t bother, but I find it hard to believe.

Thu, 01 May 2014 20:40:33 +0000http://natsinsider.com/?p=30100#comment-300979OMG, are you f*****g kidding me? Washington DC shown as “This is Birdland”. Here the Nats technically own about 20% of MASN and the Nats are paying a film crew and editors, etc to go into their market and film this.

How long to you let that little Napleonic Troll Angelos do this to you? Its bullying.

Thu, 01 May 2014 20:24:06 +0000http://natsinsider.com/?p=30100#comment-300975Wow, Orioles game is on now. They just showed video of Clarksburg Maryland in Montgomery County with the caption “This is Birdland”.

They are clearly trying to claim enough of the Nationals area of Maryland as “there own”. That Nats should do the same segment in Howard County like Ellicott City and say “This is Natitude”.

Between Billboards near Nats Park and this garbage and cheaping out on the Nats broadcast on MASN, its Angelos dreaming up how much he can push the Nats.

Thu, 01 May 2014 19:25:26 +0000http://natsinsider.com/?p=30100#comment-300971BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Orioles have activated third baseman Manny Machado from the 15-day disabled list and optioned infielder Steve Lombardozzi to Triple-A Norfolk.

Machado hasn’t played in the majors since undergoing left knee surgery last October. He was not in the lineup for the first game of a doubleheader against Pittsburgh on Thursday, but manager Buck Showalter said the 21-year-old would start in the nightcap.

Machado takes the roster spot vacated by first baseman Chris Davis, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday with a strained left oblique. Davis had a platelet-rich-plasma injection on Monday.

Lombardozzi was optioned to make room for Steve Pearce, who was signed to a major league contract Tuesday after being designated for assignment last week.

Lombardozzi batted .292 in 19 games this season.

Thu, 01 May 2014 19:12:14 +0000http://natsinsider.com/?p=30100#comment-300966Thanks. I appreciate the help. I still can’t get that link to work on my phone either (chrome, firefox, and android browsers). Maybe I am missing a plug-in. Most other podcasts seem to work fine, like the red porch report podcast, so I’m not sure what’s wrong.
